Were glad to be back in session. Senator flake, if you will continue. Senator flake thank you mr. Chairman. We talked before the break about an aumf. E need i mentioned how few people were actually here. Than 100use, fewer members of the house were there was passed. 1 aumf 23ody on this panel but only members of the senate were here to vote.

Today, lead our senators along the road of humility so that you can exalt them in due time. May they have the wisdom to reap the bountiful harvest that comes from planting the seeds of lowliness and reverential awe. Lord, make them wise and strong, as they face National Challenges that threaten our freedoms. Guide them, strong deliverer, for they are pilgrims in time who are headed for eternity.
